1. Grind grated coconut with cumin seeds, green chilies and garlic to a very fine paste.

2. Pressure cook the green gram adding turmeric powder and enough water (around 1.5 cups) for 1 – 2 whistles until done. The green gram should be slightly mashed up. Add the ground coconut paste, 1 cup hot water, salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 6 – 7 minutes until the curry turns medium thick. The curry will thicken a lot over time so adjust the consistency accordingly. Switch off. Serve with rice and other side-dishes. We had it with Kerala rosematta rice and chicken mezhukkupuratti.
